In the method, the node Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) associated domain is defined, and the relationship of positive sequence current fault component for the association domain boundaries is sought, then the conception of positive sequence fault component differential current for node IED association domains is introduced. The information of the positive sequence fault component differential current gathered by node IEDs is selected as the object of K-means clustering. The node IEDs of fault associated domains can be classified into one category, and the node IEDs of non-fault associated domains are classified into another category. With the fault area minimum principle, the group of node IEDs about fault associated domains can be obtained. The overlap of fault associated domains for different nodes is the fault area. A large number of simulations show that the algorithm proposed can identify fault domains with high accuracy and no influence by the operating mode of the system and topological changes.展开更多

It is very hard to detect the fault feeder by using existing detectors based on single method. In this paper, integrative feeder selection strategy—zero sequence current increment method and the direction of transient current— is put forward. Based on the integrative feeder selection strategy, the design of fault-feeder selection device for one-phase-to ground fault on resonance grounding system is presented. For the purpose of testing and validating the operating principle of the device, the experiment of single-phase-to-ground fault has been carried out on the simulation of 1.2 kV power network. The results from many repeat experiments show that stability of the fault selection device is satisfactory.展开更多
